GLOBE, SHADE, AND CHIMNEY HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 4, 1910.

Application filed April 6, 1910. Serial No. 553,752.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. ABBOTT, acitizen of the United States of America, residing at Ingram, in thecounty of Allegheny' and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain newand useful Improvements in Globe, Shade, and Chimney Holders,-of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawing. i

This invention relates to globe, shade and chimney holders, and, moreparticularly to that type of holder used in connection with electriclamps.

The object of my invention is to provide simple and effective means forattachinga globe or shade to a lamp socket-whereby the globe orshade canbe easily and quickly removed. Y

I attain the above object by providing a holder that is applicable tovarious types of lamp sockets, the holder being simple in construction,durable, inexpensive to manufacture, free from injury by ordinary use,and provided with means to compensate for the expansion and contractionof a'shade or globe mounted in the holder. v I

'My invention will be hereinafter specifically described and thenclaimed, and reference will now be had to the drawing forming a part ofthis specificatiomwherein there are illustrated the preferredembodiments of the inventiombut it is to be understood'that thestructural elements thereof can be varied or changed, as to the size,shape, and manner of assemblage without departing from the spirit andscope of the appended claims.

- In the drawing :--Figure 1 is a side eleva tion or a shade holder inaccordance with my .invention, Fig. 2'is a horizontal sectional View"taken on' the line XX of Fig. 1,

showing the clasp of the holder in an open position, Fig. 3 is a'similarview showing the clasp in a closed position, Fig. 4 is'a perspectiveView of a portion of the. holder, showing the clasp in an open position,Fig. 5 is a similar view showing the clasp in a closed position, Fig. 6is a perspective view of a ortion of the holder showing a modified ormof clasp in an open position, Fig. 7 is a perspective View of the claspdetache Fig. 8 is a perspective view of.a detached clasp, showing amodification of the same, Fig. 9 is' a side elevation of a modified formof holder, partly broken away and partly in section, Fig. 10 is ahorizontal sectional ence numeral 1 denotes an electric light" sockethaving the lower end thereof pro vided with an annular bead or rim 2 andadapted to engage the upper edge of said bead or rim are inwardlyprojecting tits 3 carried by the upper cylindrical end 4 of'a domeshaped holder 5. The tits 3 are adapted to rest upon the bead or rimandare fur ther held in engagement therewith by a set screw 6 or otherfastening means carried by the cylindrical end 4 of the holder.

The side walls of the dome shaped holder 5 are provided withcircumferentially arranged openings 7 and the lower end of the holder isflared and terminates in a sleeve 8 having the lower edge thereofreamedor bent outwardly, as at 9. The sleeve 8 is cut and punched, as at10 toprov-ide in gage the upper edges of the shade, globe or chimney 12.The sleeve 8 is further provided with an oblong opening 13 and withwardly projecting lugs 11 adapted to en asegmentshaped slot 14 inproximity to said opening. The material bordering upon the end of theopening 13 farthest away from the slot 14 is off-set, as .at- 15 torovide clearance for theend 16 of a resillent clasp 17- adapted toproject through the opening 13. The opposite end'of the clasp .17 isprovided with a transverse head 18 having the lower end thereof engagingunder the reamed or bent edgeof the sleeve 8, while the opposite end isoff-set, as at 19 to extend through the segmentsshaped slot 14 andnormally hold the head of theclasp in engagement with the sleeve 8.Inorder that the clasp can be easily moved, the head 18. is providedwith a handle or hook- 20.

It is preferable to space the lugs 11 an equal distance apart and theopening 13 an eqlpal distance between two of said lugs, w ereby .aplurality of supporting points will be located within the sleeve 8 forthe up or end of the shade, globe or chimney 12.

11 Figs. 6 and 7 of the drawing I have shown a slight modification ofthe invention,

wherein the end of the head 18 is bent downwardly, as at 21 toengage'the inner side of the. sleeve 8, while in F 1g. 8 the end 16 ofthe clasp 17 is bent upon tself, as at 22.

Another modificatlon of the invention is shown in Figs. 9 and 10 of thedrawing,

wherein a band 23 is movably mounted upon the sleeve 8 and the band iscut and sheared,

as at 24 to provide a resilient clasp 25 adapted to extend through theopenings 13 of the sleeve 8.-

The segment-shaped slot 14 is adapted to limit the movement of theresilient clasp,

and it is through the medium of, this clasp that a shade, globe orchimney can be easily, quickly and safely connected to the holder andsupportedv in roximity to a lamp 26 mounted in thesoc et 1.

The'holder in its entirety is made of light and durable metal and partsthereof can be spun from brass or pressed from sheet metal. i I

Havingnow described my invention what i i I claim as new, 1s:-

1. A holder of thety e described comprising a, sleeve, inwar y-extendingintegral lugs carried bythe sleeve, and a shift-- able resilient claspmovably mounted against the outer face of the sleeve and havprising asleeve provi ing a portion thereof extending-through and into the sleevefor clam ingthe article to be held to thelugs when the clasp is shiftedin one direction. I

A holder of the t pe described comd ed with inwardlyextending lugs, anda shiftable resilient clasp mounted against'the outer face of the,

sleeve and inclu'din a head, said clasp having one end thereof extendingthrough-and intothe' sleeve for clamping the article to be held to thelugs'when the-clasp is shifted in one direction and said head of theclasp having one end extending through the-sleeve.

3. A holder of the t'pe described comprising a sleeve ,provi ed withinwardlyextending In S, and a shiftable resilient clasp mounte againstthe .outer face of, the sleeve and includin a head, said clasp havingone end thereof extending through and prising a sleeve provided with anopening and a slot, said sleeve further having inwardly projecting lugs,and a resilient clasp slidably. mounted upon the outer face of thesleeve andha'ving one end thereof projecting throu h saidv openings forclam ing the article to e held to the lugs when the clas is shifted inone direction, said clasp inclu ing a head having one end extendingthrough said slot and its other end engaging in the sleeve.
